USB Storage

The modem router works with 1.0 and 1.1 (USB Full Speed) and 2.0 (USB High Speed) standards. 
The approximate USB bus speeds are shown below.

Actual bus speeds can vary, depending on the CPU speed, memory, speed of the network, and 
other variables.

The modem router should work with USB 2.0 or 1.1-compliant external flash and hard drives. For 
the most up-to-date list of USB drives supported by the modem router, go to: 

When selecting a USB device, bear in mind the following: 

•

The USB port on the modem router can be used with one USB hard drive at a time. Do not 
attempt to use a USB hub attached to the USB port.

•

Per the USB 2.0 specification, the maximum available power is 5V @ 0.5A. Some USB 
devices may exceed this requirement, in which case the device may not function or may 
function erratically. Check the documentation for your USB device to be sure.

•

The modem router supports FAT, FAT32, NTFS (read only) and Linux file systems. 

You can share files on the USB drive for a wide variety of business and recreational purposes. The 
files can be any PC, Mac, or Linux file type including text files, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, MP3, 
pictures, and multimedia. USB drive applications include:

•

Sharing multimedia with friends and family — sharing MP3 files, pictures, and other 
multimedia with local and remote users.

•

Sharing resources on your network — storing files in a central location so that you do not have 
to power up a computer to perform local sharing. In addition, you can share files between 
Macintosh, Linux, and PC computers by using the USB drive as a go-between the systems.

•

Sharing files with offsite coworkers — sharing files such as Word documents, PowerPoint 
presentations, and text files with remote users.
